man/groff.man: Some ortho- and typographic changes to the groff(7) manual

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

GROFF VERSION: groff-current from 3 Dec 2012 (based on version 1.21)

MACHINE: SunFire T5220

OS: SunOS 5.10

COMPILER: None

INPUT FILES: man/groff.man

COMMAND LINE: None

DESCRIPTION OF INCORRECT BEHAVIOUR:

  Some ortho- and typography changes:

  a -> are

  gory -> glory

  -1 -> \-1 (or \\-1 as an argument of a macro) (- is minus)

  1-9 -> 1\-9 ( or 1\(en9 ) as a substitute for the word "to"

  a-x -> a\(enx looks better than a\-x as the minus lies to high

  Some italic/roman space corrections (\, and \/)

  Macro "ESC" has the roman/italic space correction


SUGGESTED FIX:
